Yes, good to hear some activity . . . I came on for a while around 0230Z and
worked about 15 NA stations.
When I checked RBN after getting up later, I noticed that all the other
British DXers' signal reports that came on around Sunrise were 10 - 15 dB
down on my reports in the middle of the night.
This confirms my own observations that far from being a PEAK these days,
there's often a DIP in signals at that time.
(However, I appreciate they may have been coming on at that time to work
VK/ZL)
By the way, I like the idea from SV3RF of giving a Noise Level report . . .
however, unless universally agreed, I think most people would be upset
receiving a 574 report !!
